1. There are exceptional integrals of the total differential equation

in the case when it is not completely integrable, and so when the invariant

is not identically zero, which do not seem to be mentioned by any standard authorities such as Cartan, Goursat, de la Vallée Poussin, and Schouten and Kulk. These are integrals of (1) which do not reduce I to zero. They arise only when the first partial derivates of P, Q, R are not all continuous. A simple example is z = 0 as an integral of
